| '''''Duel Decks: Venser vs. Koth''''' is the ninth set in the [[Duel Decks]] series. It was released on March 30, 2012 and contains two pre-constructed [[theme deck]]s. The MSRP is $19.99.
| |
| | |
| ==Contents==
| |
| ''Venser vs. Koth'' contains two 60-card decks consisting of reprints from throughout Magic’s history, and two new [[emblem]] cards, one for each Planeswalker's last ability.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Storyline==
| |
| ''Venser vs. Koth'' is based on the novel [[The Quest for Karn]], which tells the story of the [[Scars of Mirrodin]] block.
| |
| | |
| The Planeswalker [[Koth]], from the metal plane of [[Mirrodin (plane)|Mirrodin]], sought help when his world darkened. He traveled to Dominaria to enlist allies and met fellow Planeswalker [[Venser]].
| |
| | |
| When Venser recognized the threat to Koth's world was none other than [[Phyrexia]], he knew that the only hope for Mirrodin was to find its maker. But that would mean forsaking its people in the meantime.
| |
| | |
| Koth would rather die than turn his back on his fellow Mirrans. But Venser all but knew they would die anyway if they failed to reach [[Karn]], his former mentor and creator of Mirrodin.
| |
| | |
| Two Planeswalkers, one goal, very different methods. Recreate the struggle to lead the way to Mirrodin’s salvation.{{citation needed}}
| |
| | |
